Rock Face of Kilauea Volcano Collapses

jurt1235 writes "The rockface on the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii recently collapsed over the course of about four hours. The collapse was predicted. The USGS has some great pictures of nature in action. The new rockface, which most likely will fall again, is already being build up by the vulcano." From the CNN article: "The plume, 6 feet in diameter, sent up a tower of steam as it hit the water and began forming a ramp of new land. The collapse of solidified lava shelf and sea cliff Monday was the largest since Kilauea Volcano began its current eruption in 1983."

      Dear mister nmb3000,
                As a representative of the Church of Scientology. I would like to infor you that we recently came upon and read one of your posts on the social website forthwith known here as 'slashdot'. We saw that you ridiculed the faith, and as you must understand this is intolerable. We have deployed a crack team of lawyers to your residence and that of the website 'slashdot'. In the case that we are unable to disabuse you of these misconceptions, we have teams of hitmen available at a moments notice around the globe. (Hey, they're cheaper than the lawyers, they keep the lawyers honest and make things lively) Personally thanking you for your time and consideration,
      Tom Cruise^H^HJohn Doe
